New York Times Covers the Industry

February 1, 2008 by Michael Berkens

The New York Times published an article today  covering the domain industry and the DomainFest show and auction last week.

Overall a very positive article, highlighting the maturing of the industry, the influx of venture capital money and investment potential of domains.

The only negative brought up in the story was basically domain tasting a practice that has already, as we have written about, is about to be eliminated by the imposition of the ICANN fee on all domain registrations.
